Conduct a SWOT analysis using the information you gathered in Module 1 regarding your chosen process. Review the various readings to identify the structure of a SWOT analysis. This SWOT analysis will be conducted on the current processes in place for your organization that are related to your chosen management issue. You should clearly highlight the weaknesses as you will need to convince the board that the process should be changed.  After completing your SWOT analysis, provide a short one-page summary on how you plan to use your SWOT as a management tool when improving or changing the current policy. You should also be addressing how your management theory will help you apply your SWOT analysis.

This assignment should include:

· A comprehensive SWOT analysis. Clearly highlight the weaknesses as, in Module 8 you will need to convince the board and all the stakeholders that the process does need to be changed.

· A one- page (200-300 word) summary that explains how you plan to use your SWOT analysis as a management tool.

· Using the management theories you selected in the discussion this week and your SWOT analysis, develop a 2 to 3 page business strategy that will help you address the weaknesses that were identified as a result of your analysis

This course has Turnitin fully integrated into the course dropbox.  This means that you should only submit your assignments to the dropbox below.   Please do not submit your assignment directly to Turnitin.com.     

Once submitted, your assignment will be evaluated by Turnitin® automatically.  You will be able to view an Originality Report within minutes of your first submission that will show how much of your work has been identified as similar to other sources such as websites, textbooks, or other student papers.  Use your Originality Report as a learning tool to identify areas of your assignment that you may not have cited appropriately.  You may resubmit your assignment through this dropbox as many times as you need to check to see if you have made improvements, until the due date of the assignment. However, once you have made your first submission, you will need to wait 24 hours after each subsequent submission to receive a new Originality Report.  Plan accordingly as you draft your assignment.  Once the due date has passed, your assignment submission will be considered final.
